Tony and Ann were an outstanding couple. They were role models on how to take part in activities that provided joy to others. They will be missed but also remembered by many for the joy they brought into many lives.

I met Tony and Ann a few months ago as he was our children's father Christmas for their Christmas portrait session. They were a delightful couple and I can only imagine the impact they had on their family and community. The family is in our prayers during this difficult time, but I am sure find peace in the fact that they are in a wonderful place now! Love in Christ, kyle hitchcock

Tony and Ann were the real deal. They talked the talk and walked the walk. Many of my friends and customers had the privilege of having their children interact with a true American, lover of children, talented musician and just downright great people. Every-time my wife and I come across photos taken of him with our children something inside just grieves for their loss. At the same time we feel so blessed to have known him for the short time that we did. One of my regrets is that I didn't find out about their deaths earlier so I could have attended his funeral. Our faiths are similar so I know I will see him again one day....until then he will be greatly missed by our family.
